The Lamb
Haunted by Deals and Beasts: Cold Steel's Dark Descent
Lyrics
On your feet
Encouraging someone to stand up.
They've got the taste for something Sweet
Describing a craving for something pleasant.
It's time to feast
Time to indulge or enjoy something.
And you look good enough to eat
Comparing someone's appearance to being attractive enough to be consumed.
So run it With all this time I should've Seen it comin
Reflecting on missed signs or indications.
I made the deal I shook his hand
Making a deal and sealing it with a handshake.
He knew just what I wanted now I'm Haunted
Haunted by consequences of the deal made.
By beasts with jagged teeth and rows Of gold
Being pursued by menacing creatures.
And for the time that I stole they'll Claim my soul
Consequences faced for stealing time, symbolically linked to the loss of one's soul.
Desires
Strong longings or cravings.
Hopes and dreams cast into the fire
Aspirations and desires being destroyed.
Piled high with the filth and the liars
Mentions association with deceitful and untrustworthy individuals.
I hear the songs of a deafening choir Come on
Hearing overwhelming, deafening voices or opinions.
Look out below I've fallen from the Tight rope
Expressing a fall or failure from a precarious position.
There's no way to know just where
Uncertainty about the direction or extent of the fall.
Or how much further we'll go
The fire within as a shared attribute.
The fire in you is the fire in me
Trying to break free from constraints.
I try to spread my wings in hopes to be Set free
Feeling unable to make amends for past mistakes.
Flesh and bone I'll never atone
Admitting fault from the outset.
Wrong from the start
Returning to the starting point without remorse.
Back where I began
Having a determined attitude despite indifference.
I don't give a damn I'll do what I can
Resolving to do one's best despite the circumstances.
I'll fight the beasts to find my peace
Facing challenges boldly to seek tranquility.
And meet the demands
Meeting requirements or expectations despite difficulties.
The fire in me is the fire in you
Similarity in inner strength between two individuals.
But you can't feel the hell I'm going Through I've been wrong from the Start life fades to blue
Feeling misunderstood in the hardships faced.
The smell of fire and brimstone
Sensory imagery related to a foreboding atmosphere.
The gates closed and it's a long way Home
Feeling distant from a place of belonging.
Sinking feeling like the weight of a Stone
Describing a heavy, oppressive feeling.
I told you boy you should've left it Alone
Regretting advising against interference.
You're always on the motherfucking hunt
Constantly seeking or pursuing something aggressively.
